Glimpse by Carol Lynch Williams.
This book was amazingly written, and wonderfully compelling. Easy to read, although the story was tough. A great point of view and a very touching story. Having the narrator as the younger sister was a great idea as I don't think the story would have worked otherwise. And the best part about it is that there are no surprises, as you are told at the beginning most of what happens. It was beautifully written and the poetry style of writing was a fabulous way of telling this touching, heart-breaking story.
"Twelve year old girl Hope's life is turned upside down when her older sister Lizzie becomes an elective mute and is institutionalized after trying to kill herself. Ever since their dad died Hope and Lizzie have relied on each other from a young age. Their mother is a reluctant and unreliable parent at best, who turns tricks to support the family."
